League Play-Off

Kies Stadion
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Erwin Mantovan started the match with the kick off. Sven Weinfort made an important save on a dangerous shot by Vittorio Kludig in the 4th minute. Torsten Köppl made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Cedric Van de Logt in the 6th minute of play. In the 7th minute, Mirco Lowe ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Torsten Köppl was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. An unexpectedly hard shot by Erwin Mantovan in the 10th minute of play forced Zweidorf FC's goalkeeper Sven Weinfort to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Vittorio Kludig sent away a hard shot on goal in the 11th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Vittorio Kludig came up free with the goalie in the 13th minute, the LAWRENCE fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Vittorio Kludig couldn't finish the play. In the 17th minute Cedric Van de Logt shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Torsten Köppl saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Mirco Lowe had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 19th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. The audience was convinced that Erwin Mantovan's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Sven Weinfort was relentless in the 21st minute of the game. LAWRENCE's Torsten Köppl played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Cedric Van de Logt in the 28th minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Cedric Van de Logt in the 31st minute of play forced LAWRENCE's goalkeeper Torsten Köppl to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 35th minute the ball was on its way in behind LAWRENCE's goalkeeper Torsten Köppl, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. In the 42nd minute, Cedric Van de Logt made a precise shot to the right of Torsten Köppl. LAWRENCE's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-2. The first half was very even, with the score at 2-2 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Cedric Van de Logt made a kick off. If Cedric Van de Logt had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 52nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Joschka Schenkel blasted a shot towards the goal in the 54th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Torsten Köppl having to make a save. Cedric Van de Logt's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Torsten Köppl read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 55th minute of play. In the 62nd match minute, Zweidorf FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Joschka Schenkel to maneuver through the defense. A hard and well directed shot from Knut Muschelknautz led 63 minutes into the game to a goal after the ball had bounced deceptively just in front of the goal. Zweidorf FC's Sven Weinfort became a little unsure and couldn't grip the ball before it was over the goalline. Thus it was 3-2. David-Pascal Solka charged in rather forcefully in the 66th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed David-Pascal Solka the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Vittorio Kludig received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 70th minute. Sven Weinfort tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Erwin Mantovan sent away a hard shot on goal in the 72nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 82nd minute, Erwin Mantovan got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Sven Weinfort showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Vittorio Kludig, who was totally free with the ball in the 87th minute. LAWRENCE's Torsten Köppl proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 89th minute of the match, managed to save LAWRENCE from getting a goal against them. Zweidorf FC were awarded a corner in the 91th minute after LAWRENCE's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Nico Springer took the corner. After 95 played minutes LAWRENCE got a freekick which was hit by Frank Pütz. Zweidorf FC's Mirco Lowe got a good chance for a goal in the 96th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar.
